Passion for Entertaining

If a party surrounded by friends is your idea of relaxation, then the design of your outdoor living area should be centered on being “the host with the most.”

Extend the evening – Add outdoor lighting and heating elements like a fire pit or fireplace to keep the party going into the night and for a longer entertaining season.

Ample seating – Select comfortable patio furniture that invites people to settle in for an extended period of time. And, don’t forget throw pillows to add color and accent to your décor.

Mood music – Consider installing outdoor stereo equipment to keep things rocking. Depending on your budget, there are many options from speakers with iPod adapters to fully integrated sound systems.

Space to serve – Make sure to incorporate areas for preparing and serving food and drinks, whether a side bar or elevated bucket for beverages, this will help to keep people flowing throughout the evening.

Entertainment in design – Be creative and consider adding other elements that invite interaction among guests such as adding a pizza oven, frozen drink machine, cocktail bar, spa or pool.
